What are some fun facts about halloween?

Here are some fun facts about Halloween that many people don’t know.

Ever wonder where the "Jack o'lantern" comes from?

The legend is that Stingy Jack invited the devil to have a drink with him. Jack didn’t pay for his drink and convinced the devil to turn into a coin. The devil did it and instead of paying for the drink with the coin Jack pocketed the coin and kept it. He placed the coin close to a silver cross in his house to prevent the devil from taking his normal shape again.

He promised to let the devil go if he would leave him alone for a year, and if he died, he wouldn’t claim his soul. 

After a year, Jack once again tricked the devil into leaving him alone and not claiming his soul.  Then when Jack died, God didn't want Jack in heaven because he was too convincing of a person. And the devil remained true to his word and did not allow him into hell. This left Jack roaming the nights with only a burning coal carved-out turnip to light his path ever since. So, the people of Ireland and Scotland started creating their own Jack’s lanterns from turnips, beets and potatoes. The tradition made its way to the United States and pumpkins were used instead because pumpkins were native to North America. 

Trick-or-treating comes from "souling"

If you think about it, dressing up in costumes and knocking on doors begging for candy is a strange tradition. But this tradition has steamed from the traditions of the Samhain in the Middle Ages. They believe that phantoms walked the earth on the night of Samhain, and in order to repel the spirits they dressed up in costumes. Then the Catholic Church created the All Souls’ Day, which is similar to the Samhain tradition. This is when you dress up as spirits accepting food in exchange for prayers.

And today today costumes have taken the place of garments that were once used to represent spirits and go door-to-door asking for treats. 

Halloween folklore involves fortune-telling and magic

According to Old English folklore Halloween is filled with superstition and fortune-telling. Some of these superstitions include avoiding black cats, bobbing for apples and one less known fact is that if an unmarried person walks backwards down the stairs at midnight holding a mirror their net lover's face will appear in the mirror. 

The Day of the Dead 

The Day of the Dead is more than just a day. It actually takes place October 31 through November 2 in Mexico as well as a few other Hispanic countries. On November 1st they honor the death of children. Families will decorate graves with baby's breath and white orchids. On November 2nd, family's honor the death of adults that have died by placing orange marigolds on grave sites.

Halloween began from an ancient Celtic festival

Halloween as we know it today can trace back to the ancient Celtic times with the end-of-harvest festival of Samhain. When Samhain began the people would have bonfires and wear costumes that were meant to ward off evil spirits.
